And how many just fake it? I feel like I'm just going through the motions.

I am happy with life, but not always. Right now, I am very happy, but there have been days and even months where I was pretty miserable with the way things were working out. Moved past them, and life became fulfilling again. I no longer feel like I'm spinning on a hamster wheel every day.

My life crushing depression kicks in around the time someone makes a thread without searching first

I'm Krallum and I approved this message

I could be happier, but I'm pretty darn happy right now.

5/7/2012 9:34:06 AM

Stressed, but happy.

5/7/2012 9:35:21 AM

There are some things that I wish I could change, and some things that are stressing me out, but ultimately I am overall happy with my life. I have a great family, wonderful friends, and an amazing boyfriend. I have a steady job. I have a place to live and a beach to enjoy. I have fish to catch and music to play. Beer to drink and food to eat. I'm good with life.

Delta, are you the poster who has been thinking about suicide recently?

5/7/2012 9:42:38 AM

i have my highs and lows but there is only one chance at life that i got so gotta make the best of it

5/7/2012 9:45:03 AM

^^ It's been on my mind, yes. I have not seriously considered it, but it's there.

5/7/2012 9:46:36 AM

It's impossible to kill yourself. Time is all relative; we are all going to be here forever.

5/7/2012 9:53:19 AM

I am very happy right now. Many tdubbers can attest to the fact that that was definitely not the case a year and a half ago, and i am probably not healed 100%. Im close though, really close. I went through probably 8 years that just got worse and worse until I finally cracked (see the small period of time I completely disappeared from the internet, and from reality) . I dont know what I would have done without bottombaby and my now fiance.



TL; DR life sucked then it got awesome

5/7/2012 9:59:04 AM

I went boating last weekend.

those other 167 hours in the week can go fuck themselves. Life fucking rules. Because that was awesome.

5/7/2012 10:08:30 AM

Aw. I love you, elise. You are my heart and my conscience.

I am extremely happy. My daily life can be hectic, frustrating, and lonely at times. I blow off steam by bitching about it on the internet, but life as a whole adds up to be extremely satisfying. I am almost exactly where I have always wanted to be and becoming the wife and mother that I envisioned.

5/7/2012 10:10:19 AM

I am really lucky and live a more comfortable than deserved lifestyle, but i am bored. realizing how privileged i am makes me depressed because i should be happier, but i'm not.

i am actively trying to do what makes me happy though, even if that means less $$$

5/7/2012 10:12:48 AM

Everyone is happy, most just don't know it.

[Edited on May 7, 2012 at 10:15 AM. Reason : Conversely, everyone is faking it and some are just better at deluding themselves.]

5/7/2012 10:14:50 AM

i'm extremely happy with my life. i have a great relationship with my wife and kids, we're all healthy, we have all of our basic needs met and i have a great job with prospects to be doing even more meaningful work in the near future.

5/7/2012 10:23:10 AM

i'd say i'm not unhappy, but happy is a bit of a stretch

5/7/2012 10:23:47 AM

5/7/2012 12:04:07 PM

I'm pretty happy...things are way more awesome than they were a few years ago, and I'm making strides to do more of what I love for a living. That makes me even more happy each time I think about it.

Even when times suck...I'm still laughing. I got that going for me.

5/7/2012 12:06:07 PM

5/7/2012 12:19:04 PM

^^^ I love that gif.

I'm pretty okay most of the time. Sometimes I'm on a mild rollercoaster where I'm happy then a little down then a little happy and so on.

There is already a first world problems thread...

5/7/2012 12:22:53 PM

This has nothing to do with FWP, that's more along the lines of I spilled some of my double mocha half-caf latte on my new Dockers. This is just about being happy with life.

5/7/2012 12:32:40 PM

I'd guess about a dozen of us

5/8/2012 12:02:29 AM

I'm crazy happy right now

5/8/2012 12:06:19 AM

the greatest feeling in life is to be successful as an engineer

5/8/2012 12:09:06 AM

6. Once I figure out what I want to do with my life, 8. Once I figure out women, 10.

5/8/2012 12:10:18 AM

I'd say I am pretty happy

5/8/2012 12:10:38 AM

On a scale of 1 to 10 I am probably at about a 7. I wish I had a better paying job.

5/8/2012 12:14:01 AM

ha you will never figure out women

5/8/2012 12:17:10 AM

Very appy. but many changes on the horizon--change in living/roommate, and lots of time out of town vacationing and balancing my business and representing my brother as a pro.

any advice on loans? ironically, i would have to give one in order to make the move/vacation thing happen. strange, but glad to say its not some chick swindling my money, but a good chum from high school that makes funds for payback.

buying a motorcycle and pretty much ripping and tearing. but often i long for a bit of a mix up

at least when i fall asleep i can dream of anothr life zzzzz

5/8/2012 12:43:35 AM

unlike most people, i can actually make chicken salad out of chicken shit

5/8/2012 12:48:27 AM

I'm fucking ecstatic about my life right now. Family is doing VERY well. Pets are healthy. I'm working hard, but playing very hard too. I feel very productive with my life.

But you guys don't really care so whatevs.

5/8/2012 1:32:58 AM

i don't really care about your family or life productivity, but i am glad your pets are healthy

5/8/2012 1:34:54 AM

...unless they're cats

fuck them

5/8/2012 1:36:25 AM

fuck you^

5/8/2012 1:38:32 AM

large dogs >>>>>> flemish giant rabbits >>>>>> small dogs >> cats

5/8/2012 1:41:10 AM

I'm chillin with ^ guy

5/8/2012 1:41:43 AM

I'm happy. Hope I never have to go thru the motions

5/8/2012 1:51:09 AM

MOTIONS BUILD CHARACTER SON. HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE HAPPY IF YOU ARE NEVER UNHAPPY.

Oh snap

5/8/2012 1:57:24 AM

I am mostly happy, but on the days where I am having a lot of sad thoughts I cover it up. It is really hard for me to stay sad looking, if that makes sense. Part of it is I get distracted by the people I love, then when I'm alone it really hits.

5/8/2012 2:20:24 AM

I sleep a lot, I'm really really fuckin' happy when I sleep

5/8/2012 8:01:42 AM

I'm bored with life right now, but it will turn around.

5/8/2012 12:37:11 PM

As Mark Gottfried would say, play through.
